5.Kakheti Horse Riding, Wine Tasting, and Cooking …

Leave Tbilisi for a two-hour horseback ride near Qedeli, with views of Sighnaghi, the Alazani Valley, and the Caucasus Mountains. Visit the Kvareli Wine Cave for tastings, then learn to bake Tone bread, make Khachapuri, wrap Khinkali, dip Churchkhela, and grill Mtsvadi. Driver Dima is known for making the day run smoothly.

“Fajna sprawa. Z Tobilisi mamy 2 godziny jazdy do koni. Sama atrakcja trwa 2 h. Miejsce jest bardzo ładne. Po jeździe konnej w ciągu jednej godziny możemy przetransportować się do Winnicy Tunel. Tam zapewnione jest zwiedzanie z degustacją oraz mini lekcje gotowania. Całość trwa 1,5 h, ale uważam, że to w zupełności wystarcza. Ponadprzeciętny był nasz kierowca Dima! Wspaniały czlowiek. Ma ogromną wiedzę, jest bardzo życzliwy i pomocny. To właściwie on zrobił te wycieczkę niezapomnianą. Dziękujemy i bardzo polecamy!”
